Harry Crofts
Harry Crofts Colliery was a small, short lived coal mine near South Anston in South Yorkshire.
The colliery was sunk between 1924 and 1926 and closed in 1930 due to geological problems after only four years of production. It was situated about two miles east of Kiveton Park railway station and was on the north side of the main line of the L.N.E.R. almost at the junction of the west curve to the Great Central and Midland Joint Railway at Brancliffe West Junction. In 1957 the colliery shaft was taken over by Kiveton Park Colliery and used as extra ventilation, but was filled in a little over a decade later. The remaining buildings have more recently been used for quarrying purposes.
